Abstract
A class of frustrated one-dimensional periodic Heisenberg spin systems formed either by triangular unit cells with spin 1/2 or by composite unit cells formed by two different structural units, triangles and small linear segments formed by an odd number of spin-1/2 is investigated. Based on perturbative processing and numerical calculations of the density matrix renormalization group method, the gapless character of the exact energy spectrum of excitation for these systems was found. Their instability with respect to regular (Peierls) oscillations of interactions between structural units is demonstrated. The corresponding critical exponents for the energies of the ground state are estimated numerically. For some frustrated systems, a quantum phase transition associated with the spin symmetry of the ground state, caused by frustration, has been discovered.
